Moulding Exclusivities

Synopsis

‘Moulding Exclusivities’ anatomises a series of sculptures utilising the remnants of prosthetic manufacture. The camera renders plastic leftovers from the fabrication of wearable braces for spinal adjustment. Arens surveys with part-organic part-animated movement the disservice of standardised office and living environments for the human body.
